Ah, the myth of the hero. Been hearing that for years, Hendu was THE guy. Nope. Bruce Hurst was THE guy- he won 2 of the three the Sox managed to win, ERa under 2, and struck out 17. Marty Barrett had more hits than Hendu in the series, with only 1 less RBI. Dewey Evans hit 2 homers just like Hendu, and led the team with 9 RBIs in the series.
The star of those playoffs was Barrett, who connected for 24 hits between the ACLS/WS. Nobody sings his praises..
